Dr. Ronald James took time after the show to chat and also to take a picture with two Calliope Bouviers
Calliope Rita is at left and Calliope Rhapsody is at right Dr. James' critiques of Rita and Rhapsody:- Bouvier Des Flandres (Bitches) Novice 1st CALLIOPE RITA Reserve CC and Reserve BOB. Very nice example of the breed, outstanding head properties, strong body with a powerful build, neck just a little shorter than length of head, strong straight forelegs, elbows well set in to body, abundant coat with barely visible skin, well muscled thighs and powerful movement. Limit 1st CALLIOPE RHAPSODY CC, BOB, Reserve Best Working and Best Locally Bred in Show. Another very nice example of the breed, cast in slightly smaller frame than her litter sister from the previous class and not quite as classical in head properties but it was her exquisite overall balance and very correct movement that gave her the edge on the day.
